24 tickets per day per theater for 'Spirit'? Ouch!
In the middle of a weekend movie recap article with the fascinating headline "Anne Hathaway, Kate Hudson Spanked by Clint Eastwood" we come across these horrible statistics:
From Friday-Sunday, the broken-down Spirit sold about 24 tickets a day at each of its theaters. The above stat brought to you by highly speculative movie math: take the weekend per-screen average ($515) divide by three, and then divide by the average ticket price ($7.20).
My city screams, indeed.

*sigh*
I'm 60.
No matter how many more comic-based films get made, i am not going to live long enough to see a good Spirit film.
I wish Brad Bird had managed to mke the animated one he wanted to do...
I wish someone would turn out some animate shorts, closely based on Eisner's originals: "Ten Minutes", "Haircut", "The Man Who Could Fly"...

Just so as long as Miller doesn't direct it, eh? ;-)

Frank could do a great version of "Ten Minutes". I actually thought that the best way to do "The Spirit" nowadays, to really use Frank's hypothesis of Eisner using the latest tools, would be a bunch of 10 minute YouTube videos.

Only if he *didn't* try to make it "Sin City" 2.5. Follow Eisner's look.
